In gathering wild flowers, autumn
leaves, or picnicking in the woods, we
are more OF less exposed to danger
from poisoning by ivy or other wild
vines and shrubs. The poison is
under certain circumstances readily
absorbed by the blood and painful
swellings or eruptions are caused.
Such affections Hoods Sarsaparilla
readily cures, as it expels all impuri-
ties from the blood. Even in cases
of poisoning by Paris green, Hoods
Sarsaparilla has been remarkably
successful. It should be kept con-
staatly in the house for all blood
disorders. Hoods Sarsaparilla is
prepared by c. I. Hood & Co., Low
ell, Mass, and is sold by all drug
gists. 100 doses 81.

full attendance last night at Chelsea.
In fact, the large tent scarcely held
the vast throng. Miss Stokes, whose
wonderful riding has been the chief
topic in Boston society, rode, and
rode in a manner which proclaimed
her, indeed, rider graceful, fearless
and beautiful. The applause was
tremendous. Mr.. VIM. Dutton, also,
is known the world over as the cham
pion bareback rider, performed in a
way never before seen by Boston
audience-at least not since Mr..
Dutton's last visit He is without
doubt finished artist, defying the
most captious criticism. Every de-
partment of the Circus and Menag-
erie is conducted on first-class prin-
ciples. Each performer does his OF
her work in a most complete way.

nesday venerable looking lady of a pious
cast of features, glorious mass of
gray hair and very gentle manners,
applied TO Mrs. Griffith, wife of :. VI. Grit

To- be from Mrs. Griffith kindly took her
in and cared for her. Mrs Hoover claimed
To- be on her way home from Wichita,
Kansas, and that her niece. Mrs.
Booker. Of New Carlisle. was To
ion her here yesterday and 20 on east with
her. Mrs. Grifiith knew Mrs. Booker. who
is devout Quaker; and concluded that any
one related to her must be all right. Mrs.
Hoover also got acquainted with Mr.. and

Temp Wilson and other enthusiastic Penn

able. promised number Of them
